If youve got CFL's, they can get as close as they want to the light - just make sure that the buds/branches dont touch the light at all. The light should only be a couple of inches away from the buds/branch.
You could make a screen out of wire mesh, or just tie the branches round with some string if youre worried about them touching the light.
